When he climbed to the seventh and eighth floors, everyone began to breathe. Ren Yu could feel his sweat flowing down his chest, a little itchy.

At this time, Xu Jin's voice came from the radio: "Ren Yu, how many floors have you reached?"

"Tenth floor."

"I just got the news that someone might be trapped in the 13th floor elevator."

"OK, I'll send two people over." Ren Yi asked one of Wang Meng's squad leaders to take two people to check the elevator, and the others continued to run up.

There are two stairs in the East and west of the apartment. The fire point is close to the west, so they went upstairs from the East stairs. After climbing up the 21st floor, everyone was panting and their legs were weak.

The 21st floor has been filled with smoke, but there is little open fire, mostly burning in the ceiling. Ren Yi squatted on the ground holding the wall and gasped, "rest for 20 seconds."

Ren Yi counted 20 numbers in his heart, and then commanded, "Wang Meng, take them to splice the water hose, Liu Hui, go up with me to explore."

"Yes."

Ren Yu and Liu Hui put on masks and went up the stairs to the 22nd floor. In the 22nd floor corridor, thick smoke billowed and the fire was raging. Ren Yu carefully opened the door of the staircase compartment. A turbulent geothermal wave hit and blew his pores open. Judging from the entrance of the stairs, they can barely get in on the east side. On the west side is a Shura field wrapped in red and black smoke. No one knows what's going on inside.

Ren Yu asked Liu Hui to stay on the 22nd floor. He went up to the 23rd floor himself. The 23rd floor was not a fire floor, but it didn't look better than the 22nd floor. As he walked down, he asked, "Wang Meng, has the hose been connected?"

Wang Meng's voice mixed with noise came from the headset: "connected."

"We're divided into two groups. You lead the team to search the 23rd floor and I'll search the 22nd floor. Everyone sets the air call lower limit and harmonious alarm time to 15 minutes. As soon as it rings, you must withdraw from the fire immediately. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Ren Yi left the two men to open and close the fire hydrant valve. Holding the hose, he took the lead in rushing into the fire.

The high temperature of the fire was frightening. Wearing battle clothes, Ren Yu still felt that his skin was about to be roasted. Every pore was stinging. It took great courage to take a step forward. He gritted his teeth and said, "water supply."

After the hose supplied water, the water pressure almost brought Ren Yi to a somersault. Fortunately, Cui Yisheng held the hose with him. They fired at the fire in the corridor, barely suppressed the fire and cooled down, and began to search and rescue door by door.

There are six households in the East. They all use the unified external anti-theft door. They can't open it at all. Several people beat the door hard and shouted, "is there anyone, firefighter!"

"There's someone on the ground!" Ding Qing's infrared image showed a shadow of lying on the ground.

They ran over and found two people lying upside down in the corridor. Their backs and arms were burned, but there was still a pulse.

At this time, a faint cry for help came from inside a door. They took the lead in breaking open the door with tools.

Liu Hui ran in with a war harmony scholar and found a father and son in the bathroom. His father still had consciousness.

They carried the rescuers downstairs.

There was no movement in the remaining households. They had to pry the door one by one. Two of them were empty, and the people of the other two households were dead. However, the westward household was close to the fire point, the heat radiation was too high, and the anti-theft door was seriously deformed. The two people couldn't pry it open for a long time.

Ren Yu decisively said, "saw."

They changed the chain saw and cut a hole in the security door that could barely be passed by adults.

After cutting, Ren Jue stretched out his foot and kicked open the wooden door inside. The house was a sea of fire and could hardly see anything.

They put the water gun in and fired at the house. When the fire was under control, Ren Yu climbed in from the hole and shouted, "firefighter, is there anyone! Is there anyone!"

"Team Ren, hurry up, the fire can't be held down here!"

Ren Yu searched the three bedrooms and three living rooms. When he found the last master bedroom, he leaned down and looked under the bed and found two children.

When houses are on fire, some places have the heaviest traces of people escaping and hiding, such as windows, doorways, bathrooms and under beds. These are the focus of their search, especially children who are most likely to hide under beds.

Ren Yi took out the two unconscious children, put them under his arms left and right, and rushed to the living room.

"Cover, cover!" Liu Hui shouted. He and a war harmony man held the water belt and sprayed around Ren Yu.

Ren Ran to the door, handed the two children out of the hole in turn, and finally climbed out by himself.

The fighters sent the injured people downstairs one by one.

Ren Yu gasped hard: "let's go to the West. We can go as much as we can."

They pressed the array with water guns and tried to grab a way out of the sea of fire, but the high-temperature steam from the water when it met the fire made their situation worse. They reluctantly found another family. After laboriously entering, they found it empty.

"Team Ren, there should be a fire ahead... It's too hot to pass." Ding Qing took out the thermometer and stretched out his hand far away. "This distance is more than 700 degrees. There must be more than 1000 in front. The doors have melted."

The sound of glass cracking came to my ears, and then there was a loose squeak from the ceiling above my head. Ren Yu shouted, "withdraw!"

Everyone ran back together, and the ceiling with fire fell on Ding Qing.

They rushed to spray water on Ding Qing. Others dragged him out of the buried object. Ding Qing waved his hands: "it's all right, I'm all right."

Wang Meng's voice came: "Ren Yu, I need support here. Give up the 22nd floor."

Ren Yu looked at the fire field like hell on earth and knew that it was really difficult to move ahead. He said, "Ding Qing, your battle suit is burned. Go downstairs."

Ding Qing got up and looked, "it's just a little hole."

"Go downstairs."

"Ren team!" Ding Qing shouted, "it didn't burn through, it's just the surface. I'm really fine!"

Ren Yu looked at Ding Qing's eyes, which were firm and bright, and said in a deep voice, "let's go and support captain Wang with me."

The situation on the 23rd floor is better than that on the 22nd floor. The two classes led by Wang Meng have successfully rescued several people. But the ceiling and wall kept falling, and there were almost traps everywhere.

At this time, there were still six war Harmonists left on the scene. Their air alarm sounded one after another. They grabbed the time, worked together to break down the last two doors, and finally searched the whole floor.

Ren Yu gave the order: "retreat."

The people began to walk down. They had just gone down one floor. Xu Jin's voice came from the intercom: "Ren Yu, Qian Yue found a family of eight people on the 24th floor and needed support."

Ren Yi looked down at his empty call. It was less than five minutes. He said, "come right away."

"Ren team..."

Ren Yu quickly said, "there is no fire below the 20th floor. The six of you leave two air bottles for standby. The rest is for me and captain Wang."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Come on!" Wang Meng urged.

Four of them removed their air bottles and handed them to Ren Yu and Wang Meng.

Ren Yu said, "go downstairs now!"

He and Wang Meng carried two air bottles and rushed up to the 24th floor.

Arbitrarily switched the channel, "Qian Yue, I'm Ren Yu. Which side are you on?"

"In the middle, hurry up. There are too many people in this family. There are four old people."

After they went up, they searched for directions in the thick smoke. Finally, they found Qian Yue and others according to the voice.

Qian Yue was directing the war Harmonists to lift people downstairs. There was a serious shortage of hands. He shouted at Ren Yu, "there are two old people with inconvenient legs and feet. You have to carry them down!"

Ren Yu changed an air bottle for himself: "come on."

At this time, I only listened to someone shouting, "aunt, don't take anything! Go! Don't take it!"

A young fighter dragged a middle-aged woman out of the house.

Wang Meng observed the fire waves above his head like a sea tide: "if it's going to flash, it must be withdrawn immediately!"

Ren Yu picked up an old man on his back, supported the huge load with trembling legs and stomach, and bited his teeth to the entrance of the stairs.

"My bracelet, my bracelet!" The woman was crying at the top of her lungs.

"You don't want to die. Don't take it. Let's go!"

"Stop her --"

Suddenly, Ren Yu felt the floor shaking violently under his feet. Before he could react, he heard a loud noise. He and Wang Meng were staggered and fell down at the corridor.

Ren Yu got up with a pale face. He and Wang Meng almost ran back. When they saw the scene in front of them, they both froze.

The floor collapsed.

The floor on the 24th floor, that is, the ceiling on the 23rd floor, fell down and smashed through the ceiling on the 22nd floor. A two-story pit appeared in front of them.

The people who fell were buried in the ruins and smoke and disappeared.

Qian Yue gave a shrill roar, and other Zhan hehe scholars were going crazy. While shouting the name of Zhan hehe's friend, he pulled off the rope and tried to save people.

Ren Yi hugged Qian Yue: "Qian Yue, calm down. You can't go down here. It's not safe!"

"Let go of me! Xiao Zhou is down there!" Qian Yue pushed Ren Yu away.

"Down from the 23rd floor, it's too high!" Ren Yu roared, "Qian Yue!"

Qian Yue pulled off his mask, wiped away his tears, trembled and said, "go downstairs."

Ren Yu grabbed intercom and said: "participating in seeking harmony, 23rd floor needs support, floor collapses, war harmony soldiers are injured, need support!"

"Received."

Qian Yue choked and said, "Ren Yu, take the injured people downstairs and I'll save my people."

Ren Yu said in a deep voice, "Qian Yue, don't be impulsive. Wait for help."

Qian Yue didn't answer and hurried downstairs with two people.

Ren Yu and several others picked up the trapped people and walked downstairs with difficulty.

When they finally returned to the ground and handed them over to the emergency personnel, Ren Yi's legs softened and sat on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Several people wanted to come and help him.

Ren Yi took off his mask and waved his hand, "let me sit for a while. How's captain Qian?"

Cui Yisheng shook his head: "I don't know. What's going on up there?"

"The floor collapsed, and a small war harmony scholar was..." Ren's voice became more and more trembling and could hardly speak.

The crowd was silent.

"Ren Yu." As soon as the calm and clear voice sounded in Ren's ear, it was like injecting a touch of coolness into the scorching heat. Even if it was only for a moment, it also alleviated the pain.

Ren Xuan raised his head and saw Gong Yingxian standing in front of him. He bent down and the afterglow of the sunset came down from behind, making his handsome face bright and dark. He didn't know whether the worry and heaviness on his face came from the rendering of light and shadow.

Ren Yu looked at Gong Yingxian in a daze. His eyes were hot. He had an impulse to cry. He wanted to cry very much, because he saw a young war harmony man buried under the ruins, his life and death were uncertain, but he was a commander, he couldn't cry, but he had an uncontrollable impulse when he answered the gong.

What's the matter with him.

Gong Yingxian squatted down, handed him a bottle of water and whispered, "are you okay?"

Ren Yi nodded, took the water and drank it. He filled the whole bottle of water in one breath, and then threw away the bottle. He shook his head and said, "not good."

Gong Yingxian looked up at the tall building: "I know what's in there."

“……”

"I was inside."

Ren Yu knew what Gong Yingxian was talking about. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he should say. He thought of the two children he had just saved. Did Gong Yingxian, like them, hide under the bed helplessly and in fear?

Why, why do such human tragedies happen again and again?!

Gong Yingxian stretched out his hand to Ren Yu: "get up, no matter who did it, I will find out the truth."

Ren Zhuo was stunned for a moment. Instead, he held Gong Yingxian's hand and was pulled up by Gong Yingxian from the ground. He felt the power from Gong Yingxian's hand. The powerful and heavy power made him feel a little relieved.

Gong Yingxian stared at Ren Yu deeply: "let's find out the truth together."
